Darkness. Again we see a world in pitch-black darkness
Across this small and lonely town
We see a brilliant flash of a beam of light
That sends shining golden rays across the land
And we see this ray make a journey
As it is in it's nature to do so
Traveling across various buildings and yards,
To parks, fields, and skools
And across an ominous looking house
One that contains a great evil
Depending on how one views evil
But
As of now that house is of no concern.
Now, keep looking, if you will,
Past that residence.
Keep going down the street, around the corner
And past the stop sign
And now
A new scene lies before you
Yet another house
Seemingly ordinary enough
Like any other house
But
Do not be fooled
For held in it is a being of great power
A being of hope
A being that much like the rays of sun that now rush over his home
Shall spread rays of salvation for his home
Now
Come, if you will, into this seemingly ordinary house
Look past that over sized telescope
Look past the great feats of science
Walk past the great rooms of technology
While they are spectacular feats of science
They are not what make this house unusual
Keep walking, past that creepy looking door
And past the creepy little girl that dwells in it
*shudder* Spooky isn't she?
But yet, even she is not what makes this house unusual.
Now if you go a little bit farther
You shall come to a door
Enter through it
You will find various things
UFO posters, a laptop, and various notes on a certain green fellow
But he will come later
Look in the corner of this
Strange, unusual room
And you will see a bed
And within it
A boy
And this is what makes this ordinary house unordinary
An ordinary boy wrapped in cotton sheets
Murmuring softly in his sleep
But remember
Do not be fooled by his appearance
For it is not what is outside
But what is held inside that counts here.
This boy rests in the comfort of his room
Dreaming perhaps of what will come of this day
Then, at the sound of a buzz
Dreary eyes open
A pale hand reaches out and silences the alarm
And he rises.
A bright beam of light is reflected
As large glasses are put on
And a look of determination crosses his face.
A leap and he is out of his bed
Despite the grumbling of his spooky sister
He strides down the halls
Confident, defiant, and proud
And he's good reason to be
For he is a herald
A savior
And a hero
One that has been ridiculed all his life
One dubbed a madman, a lunatic, and "just plain cwazy"
But today
Today is the day he shall prove them all quite mistaken
Today he shall stare them all in the face
And say "You were wrong"
There is a darkness coming
A darkness greater than earth has ever known
And the one to bring this darkness
Has sat only two seats away from him
Mocking him
As if to tell him that his plight to stop him are futile
But this boy knows that he is wrong
This bringer of doom shall be the one to fail
Not he
For he is the one to save us all
(Although it may not be even worthy of saving)
The one to take the threat
Of ever chaos and misery
And fling him back into the dark pit of hatred where he belongs!
He walks down the hall, already dressed
He grabs a doughnut and rushes out the door with a quick farewell
A comment about craziness follows him
But he pays it no mind
HE must keep focused
He's prepared for this all his life
No way he's messing up now.
He walks to the skool
Head held high
Hazel eyes shining with purpose
The place where he is to meet
This great evil that threatens us all
Click. Click. Click
His boots move cautiously across the pavement
And shifting eyes survey the scene
Where is he hiding?
He raises his voice and calls to lure him out
For he knows he is here
A figure steps out of the shadows
Poorly disguised
And black toupee shining in the sunlight
With eyes glaring with ever-present hatred for him and his kind
Challenging to face him
The evil one faces the herald
And with a sly oily voice he speaks
"Dib. So finally you show"
